Would you trade your Celica for an MR2?, opportunity arose... Options

[blu94gt]

So I may have the opportunity to trade the Celica straight across for a 91 MR2 turbo. It has 132k on it, and a few mods. Interior is a little rough compared to my car, but it does have lower miles since the 99 will be hitting the 160k mark. My biggest hang up is the age of the car, plus the reduced gas mileage and increased maintenance cost; but I've always wanted one, and would love something RWD again.

I know there are some big MR2 fans here, would you trade your Celica for one? Even if it's 8 years older?

The car has 132,XXX miles, its fresh black paint done professionally in july of 2009. It has JDM solid side moldings, Euro front signal lenses, a TRD short throw,factory fogs, Berk exhaust, a Berk down pipe goes with it, a manual boost controller from 2's R us, JDM power fold setup go with it. It needs new ebrake cables, a shift boot, other than that its solid seats are rough but interior otherwise is clean. This car starts, and drives everyday, Ive owned it almost a year. I got it from old man in Kansas oddly enough. Its a T-top car. Since I got it I put a passenger rear wheel bearing in, rear brakes, a new alternator, and battery. The asking price is 4500. Lower offers mean I keep some parts. I will consider trades....Here she is...417-850-7700

K trades I'm looking for are Honda crx eg/ek hatch something along those lines but all offers will be considered...for the right car I would throw cash your way





























The Car is DRY in these pics, Im not a photographer so they suck but it is what it is...Thanks for looking.

If you're just looking for opinoins, I'll voice mine. I say Don't. But here's my reasoning. I've driven 6gcs and I've driven SW20s. Personally, SW20s are an awesome weekend cruiser and track car. Very uncomfortable for a daily. They are cramped with NO space for daily necessities that you would need. If you have a 2nd vehicle as a DD, Hell ya go for it. SW20s are a very fun car, but not practical. Not to mention a PITD to work on lol

I disagree. My MR2 is very comfortable for a DD and isn't cramped at all. What daily necessities do you require that the 6GC provides and the MR2 doesn't? Only things I can think of is back seats (when you DD you're typically riding solo anyways) and no cup holders (cupholder install is well documented on mr2oc). I can pack a full cart of groceries neatly in the trunk with no problems. I recently went on a camping trip where my girlfriend and I packed a cooler and our gear in the trunk and firewood in the frunk (minus mini spare tire, but who uses them anyways). I easily rack up 100 miles A DAY in the car for work, generally hauling a Point Of Sale system or two and I don't have one complaint. I am not saying your opinion is wrong, but I suppose I would like it if you could ellaborate a bit for me.

Exactly. My mechanic has an MR2 and I think it's comfortable, but maybe it's because it's a fun car. I'm 5'8", though. I would say it's a bit cramped compared to a 6GC, which has a lot of leg room and rear decoration seats (who te hell fits there?). Isn't that funny? You ride in any recent car and then ride in a 6GC and you feel like in a can of tuna. It's just small inside. But then you ride in an MR2 and the Celica feels like a Maybach.
